I spoke with Sean this evening. He was so excited! (It takes a lot to get Sean real excited!) His robotics team made their power point presentation, qualified for the event, and took 5th place (out of 50 bots) for design! Fuel cell, baby!
Here is a link to the site at the university. They don't have pictures yet for this year, but if you're interested, they have previous years events pictures and results:

He competes at 0700 tomorrow morning! May the force be with you and your team, Sean!
